Quick Note Regarding the Shop Pages

Marilyn — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:23:58 +0000

Oh, argh! I finally relented and upgraded the wp-e-commerce plugin that makes the Shop pages work. It is causing all kinds of navigation problems that, to fix, will require more hours than I have to spend at the moment. Additionally, reverting back to what I had yesterday no longer seems possible. So, shoot! One step forward, twenty steps back.

Anyway, the shop is still functional, just not nearly as user-friendly as it was.

Email Trouble

Oh nos! I was just notified by a friend that they received an email supposedly from me (my name at my name dot com), but that it looked suspiciously like spam, and so my friend was smart enough not to open it.

I never send out anything from my name at my name dot com that isn't about art. Nothing about that male drug that starts with a V, nothing having to do with Russian girls, nothing having to do with bedroom recreational activities, nothing that isn't about art, and usually about my art!

I have my email settings at my host set up with the tightest security and spam filters, so I can only conjecture that whoever is using my name at my name dot com is spoofing my email address.

So, please, do not open anything that isn't about art that seems to be from me.

I am looking into the problems and possible solutions (if there are any).

Sigh!

Download Problem Fixed

Yikes! I just discovered there was a terrible delay in download times since my last major edits a few weeks ago! I traced the problem to a new plugin used to display random images on my home page (one each time you reload the page). I have deactivated and replaced that plugin, and all is well again. Sorry for the delays!!!
